BRITNEY SPEARS: ‘TAKING A BREAK’

She wrote in a Twitter post:

“Don’t worry folks … just taking a little break from social media to celebrate my engagement!!! I’ll be back soon”

Spears and Asghari have been dating since 2016 and they announced their engagement earlier this month. The pop icon took the decision to quit Instagram shortly after Asghari insisted he won’t compromise his happiness to pursue fame.

‘FAME IS NOT A JOB’

The personal trainer said he doesn’t crave fame, and after getting engaged to Spears, Asghari explained that he won’t allow stardom to deprive him of happiness.

“Fame is not a job. So I don’t want to take it too seriously. And I don’t think that’s ever going to change, to be honest. I don’t want to mess with my happiness or mess with my spirit. No fame in the world is worth that,” he reflected.

Asghari also revealed that he and his fiancee are both extremely competitive with each other.

“A lot of people don’t get that she’s a crazy, crazy athlete. We play tennis together. We play ping-pong together. She’s really good at ping-pong. It’s a real competition,” he shared.

“And I’m competitive, but I try to take it easy. Not because she’s a woman. Not because she’s weak, because she’s not. But I grew up with three sisters, so I learned that taking competition too seriously can lead to hurt feelings. Family take it easy on each other.”
